The third company of the group, Goldmedia Custom Research GmbH (founded in 2007), combines the wide spectrum of expertise in the field of usability research as well as market and opinion research. In 2008, Goldmedia became a member of the European Media Consulting Association (EMCA), which is an international consulting network (www.emca.tv).

Goldmedia-Holding’s head office is in Berlin, Germany. Other departments of Goldmedia are situated around Germany in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich and Dusseldorf.
